General Program
The General degree is offered on a regular basis only and may be taken by part-time study.
In order to receive the General BSc degree a student must successfully complete 40 term courses including the following requirements:

Joint Honours degrees with Psychology and Economics are available in addition to that with Health Studies. Students should consult with the Undergraduate Officer in both departments regarding specific course sequences, course or credit requirements, and minimum averages.
Health-Professions Preparation Stream (**)
A stream is a suggested list of courses to achieve a goal. This stream, available on either a Regular or Co-op basis, combines the Honours Kinesiology program and its emphasis on human applications, with specific suggestions in Biology, Calculus, Chemistry, Physics, Psychology and Sociology. It is intended to develop an academic profile which may prepare students for potential study in medicine, podiatry, chiropractic and speech pathology. It is also intended for the student whose interests develop into graduate study in the health disciplines. Students are strongly urged to consult the admission requirements of the professional schools of interest to aid in their choice of electives. Overall and major cumulative averages of 75% are considered minimal to be competitive for application to programs in the health-professions. A suggested course sequence is available on request from the Department of Kinesiology.
* denotes a course in addition to, or substituted for, BSc (Honours Kinesiology) requirements
** Pre-Health-Professions Option programs are also available in the Departments of Biology and Health Studies
Honours Co-op Kinesiology Programs
Ergonomics Option
This limited enrolment Co-op program is intended to help prepare graduates who will contribute to solving workplace problems, particularly in safety ergonomics to reduce the risk of injury and enhance human performance.
The course requirements have been selected to provide students with a thorough background in the biophysical and behavioural sciences of human motion and related measurement and problem solving skills. Admission and graduation requirements are listed below.
* KIN 431, 432, 470, 472 must be on Ergonomics topics approved in advance by an Ergonomics Option Advisor.
** Non-credit required tutorial each term for work term review, advising and discussion of Ergonomics issues.

Neurobehavioural Assessment Option
This limited enrolment Co-op program is designed to prepare graduates who can evaluate the physiological, biomechanical and neuropsychological bases of acquired or developmental motor impairments from a strong background in the neurosciences and the behavioural and biophysical sciences related to the learning and control of human movement.
The course requirements have been selected to provide students with a thorough background in the biophysical, behavioural and neural mechanisms involved in the learning and control of movement. Measurement and problem solving skills associated with the assessment of human movement in healthy individuals and persons with various disabling conditions are also learned. Admission and graduation requirements are listed below.
